THE REAGANS Special Presentations

THE REAGANS

World Premiere

Following the film, NBC News Political Director and Moderator of “Meet the Press,” Chuck Todd leads a conversation with director Matt Tyrnauer.

Directed by Matt Tyrnauer, this fascinating new four-part Showtime series focuses on the rise and reign of America’s ultimate power couple: Ronald and Nancy Reagan. AFI FEST is pleased to present Parts 1 and 2 of this compelling and extremely timely re-examination of President and Mrs. Reagan. Chock full of evocative archival footage and illuminating contemporary interviews, THE REAGANS asserts Nancy’s central role in her husband’s career, shines a light on the darker aspects of the Reagans’ climb to power and provides a revelatory perspective on how the political tactics used in the ‘60s and ‘70s are a progenitor of our current national politics.
